Dr. Carri:

Dr. Carri Tanaka is a family wellness chiropractor who takes a special interest in caring for women during their pregnancy.  She is certified in the Webster technique which is a specific technique used by chiropractors to address the particular needs of a woman's body during her 9 month journey.  The Webster technique reduces interference to the nervous system, improving function of the pelvic muscles and ligaments leading to the reduction of constraint to the woman's uterus allowing the fetus the best opportunity to be positioned for a healthy birth.  Dr. Carri also works with many families to help their children (from newborn to teens) live their healthiest life!

Dr. Carri Tanaka is from southern California and attended California State University, Northridge where she received her undergraduate degree in Liberal Studies and Kinesiology.  She then went on to Southern California University of Health Sciences to study chiropractic and graduated on the Dean's List.  She is a member of the Holistic Pediatric Association and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.  She is licensed by the state of California as well as the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners.  She has been in practice since September of 2004 with her husband Dr. Robert Tanaka.  In her free time, Dr. Carri enjoys reading, exercising, volunteering with Little Bow Wow Rescue, spending time with family, and playing with her two Shih-Tzu's, Muffin and Peanut.

Dr. Robert:

Dr. Robert is a family wellness coach and chiropractor who has great passion for nutrition and education.  Graduating with a degree in biology, biochemistry (minor) and a master's degree in oriental medicine, Dr. Robert understands the science behind nutrition and herbs.  Nutrition in combination with chiropractic helps the body heal at its fastest rate and helps the body protect against chronic disease like cancer and heart disease.

Dr. Robert enjoys reading/researching nutrition and environmental toxins.  He also educates people on how to make better choices and occasionally teaches at The Belly Sprout (a great site for mothers-to-be).  He believes that in order to provide yourself with the highest quality of life, all your life, you must eat well, move well, and think well (3-foundations of life).  And this incorporates into keeping your spine and nervous system healthy, getting the proper nutrition, eliminating/reducing environmental toxins, exercising the body and have a positive mind.
